Why suddenly is it such an outrage? Is it only because it could effect the wealthy in Obama's proposal?


All of this sudden outrage is a little strange.

We have a moral obligation to help those who can't help themselves
(handicap, elderly, retired vets, deserted mother, etc)

It's the FORCED redistribution of wealth that is dangerous.
And redistributed to WHO??? Often it's to those who only want
a free handout.

Do you want your hard earned money given to those types
or to your own kids for college, or to build your business,etc ???
